Agriculture (Minor)

Location(s): Main Campus



Program Summary

An Agriculture minor will help students who desire to increase knowledge and experience in the field, but who don’t major in Agriculture. Agriculture students gain a broad education in agriculture and an opportunity to emphasize their area of greatest interest through extensive hands-on and face-to-face educational opportunities at SUU’s 800-acre farm and 2,800-acre ranch. Along with the main areas of focus, the degree may include equine science, horticulture, and pre-veterinary medicine. Students become qualified for a wide variety of agriculture industry-based careers.
